Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake named President of US Conference of Mayors

The US Conference of Mayors kicked off their 83rd annual meeting this weekend and as part of the proceedings they named their new president for the coming year. The lucky winner was Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

No, seriously. I’m not kidding.

...

As noted in the local Baltimore coverage, there were some observers who were immediately skeptical regarding this selection. Given all of the recent… activity in Charm City, isn’t she a bit busy? There’s a big trial coming up involving some of her police officers, her State’s Attorney is taking on water like a submarine with a screen door and – depending how this trial goes – her town may be going up in flames again before the summer is out. One might think she’s already got plenty of irons in the fire.

But perhaps even more to the point, the Conference is supposed to be about collecting and sharing good ideas in an effort to help cities improve their conditions and address challenges. Wouldn’t you suppose that somebody with a long, proven track record of success would be a logical choice?

...

Just a suggestion here, but how about considering the mayor of a city where things are actually working?
